Mr Farish, who has held the position of governor since 2012, gave a very interesting talk on the new prison, from the teething problems encountered when it first opened, to the many educational successes which help prisoners turn their lives around.

He told how education is a very important part of prison life and how many prisoners start by learning the foundations then go on to gain qualifications which are vital to life outside prison.

Members then had the chance to ask questions which Mr Farrish answered comprehensively.
